A driver has died after a large piece of rock or concrete smashed through a car windscreen.
Police believe the debris fell from a lorry in Netherfield Lane in Thoresby, Nottinghamshire, at about 11:40 BST.
The driver died at the scene and officers are now working to identify the lorry.
The section of road is expected to stay closed for several hours as investigations are carried out, police said.

"We are also appealing for any dashcam footage which may show this vehicle."
